Hey everyone, i could use your help.
I'm looking for some good sources that outline and compare the various theories as to when Zoroastrianism and monotheism first made its appearance. I know it's all a bit foggy but any sort of timeline showing archealogical discoveries, theories ect. would be VERY helpful.
From what i gather, common belief puts it between 700-1000BC and there's some very good reading that supports this. However, nothing i've read so far really introduces the reasons behind the other various theories which attempt to date it much earlier (6600BC) or later (10ad), they only mention them. So any info or sources you might have on this i'd be really interested in.
Thanks!
